Overview
The Aer² is built around one idea: one hand should be enough. Folding, steering, reclining and adjusting the canopy are all designed to work one-handed, which matters when you’re also holding a child, a boarding pass and a bag. At 14.3 lb it’s one of the lighter carry-on-oriented strollers in this shortlist, and Joolz says its current US listing meets IATA carry-on sizing.
For newborns, the current US configuration ships with a baby net rather than a separate bassinet, and the seat reclines fully flat. The fabric is made from recycled PET, and Joolz lists a Red Dot Award for the Aer²’s design.

Airline notes & sources
United: United says collapsible strollers can be stored in the cabin. Dimensions, aircraft and available space still apply. Standard strollers can be checked free at the gate; confirm any operating-carrier restrictions. Carry-on sizes ↗ · Traveling with children ↗
Delta: Delta publishes free stroller checking at the gate or counter. The reviewed child-baggage page does not explicitly confirm compact-stroller cabin admission. Ask Delta before relying on overhead storage. Carry-on sizes ↗ · Stroller policy ↗
American Airlines: American says collapsible strollers should be checked at the gate before boarding. A size match does not override that policy. One stroller and one car seat can be checked free, with only one of them at the gate. Carry-on sizes ↗ · Stroller policy ↗
Air Canada: Air Canada also lists a stroller-specific condition: collapsed diameter up to 25.5 cm and length up to 92 cm. This box-size comparison does not establish compliance with that separate rule. Confirm your configuration with Air Canada. Carry-on sizes and stroller condition ↗
Southwest: The standard carry-on dimensions are verified. We have not yet confirmed the stroller-specific cabin policy in this release; ask Southwest before relying on overhead storage. Official baggage policy ↗
Standard carry-on limits, not always a stroller-specific policy. Reviewed 2026-09-11. Check your operating carrier, aircraft and any bag or accessories.
The tradeoff
Its 17.3-inch folded width exceeds a 14-inch carry-on limit. Suspension details were not confirmed.
Newborn use
Current US listing includes a baby net for newborn use. Use the required newborn configuration; older versions may differ.

Owner describing the Aer² as their main stroller across mixed terrain; exact child age not stated.
“It became my main stroller... it does pretty well on grass, cobbled roads, and compacted pebbles.”
